This is definitely a Kona issue. You’d have better replies from the AJA forum. I use Black Magic so I can’t help you there.

When you digitize your footage via firewire does it come in as separate clips at each take as with the JVC? If so then it should be easy to just use compressor to batch encode all the individual clips to Pro Res and your set.
I don’t have the Sony but if it digitizes HDV as one giant clip over firewire then I guess your current workflow is the only way.
Hope this helps.

In all honesty- why would you wan’t that? Most people pick up a capture card so that they avoid the tape being split into many clips. If that is what you need then just digitize via firewire- your clips should be split upon each take. Then transcode to whatever codec you need to edit in if other than HDV. Just curious what camera was used too.

No it won’t do that. On the other hand you don’t lose the first few seconds of each take as is the case with firewire (when digitizing audio and video over firewire).

You can use your USB connection with this…

It works perfectly- I use it everyday.

You can also use the RS422 on the HD50 for full deck control.

There was a huge thread about this as soon as FCS2 came out. Basically you have to avoid duplicating your sequences or else the original sequence will lose it’s rendered files.
It’s a really really really bad bug that has yet to be fixed. I don’t have the link in front of me but apple has a section on the website addressing this.
If I find it again I’ll post.

I had two DV5000’s and used Sony DVCAM 124’s for two years straight. Solid as a rock. You actually get 180 min out of DVCAM 124 min because of the speed difference.
You should be fine.

Realigned is not the same as replaced. Only replaced heads would be as good as new. Traditionaly decks have been made to handle starts and stops better than cameras but the latest prosumer decks tend to use the exact same transport systems as the cameras- makes sense from a manufacturing point of view.
What deck is it?
